emily! thank you so much 😊 slowly making my way through the issue and wow that opening line in yours (and the way it comes back)… it’s such a good story. ♥️

huge thanks to the editors and @gfaulknerwriter.bsky.social for selecting this story, and to the @smokelong.bsky.social summer for helping me get this piece started ♥️

another i love and use in class is “sea air” by matt sailor but i can’t find it anymore - will come back with a link if i can track it down!

oh, that’s only one option! writers could also “empower a house of worship,” “foster a skilled trade job,” or “make dc safe and beautiful.” so many opportunities for art!!
